Travel Tips
Book your accommodation in Diu well in advance, preferably 2-3 months prior, as hotels and luxury tents sell out quickly during the festival period.
While the festival runs for 75 days, most travelers choose to visit for shorter periods, typically 3-7 days, to experience key events. Plan your trip according to the specific weekly themes or major attractions like the New Year's Extravaganza you wish to attend.
Diu Airport (DIU) is the primary air access, with direct flights from Mumbai and Ahmedabad, especially frequent during the festival season. Nearest major railway stations are Veraval and Delwara, from where taxis and buses are available.
Although Diu allows alcohol, visitors are advised to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites such as St. Paul's Church or Diu Fort's historical areas, to respect local customs.
